AMENDE HONORABLE.
Wo do not claim to bo exempt front
making mistakes, and concedo that an
apology is duo, and tho samo is hereby
tendered oiw brother, tho editor of tho
Oconeo NOWK, in ino mattorof the pub
lication of an articlo from tho Green
wood Journal, in whioh ono of his edito
rial statoiii??t? \v?s not fully given. Wo
should also have published the article
from tho Nows in tho same commotion,
but omittod lo do do so from uninten
tional oversight. In fairness to our
neighbor wo now reproduce what ho did
say as takon from the original editorial
of tho Nows :
"Wo hardly think Tillman eau whoop
up na many votos as he could livo years
ago. Wo do think, though, that he can
got onongh to go baok lo tho .Senate."
AN INDIGNITY UPON FLOHENCE PEOPLE.
Tho appointment by Prosidoi.t McKin
ley of J. E. Wilson : ; tho postmaster ut
Floronco, S. C., imposes a negro upon
tho pooplo of a town of about (ive thou
sand inhabitants. Such au appointment
would novor bo thought of for a moment
for a town of similar size in Ohio or any
othor Northern State. In tho light of
tho unfortunate results attending the
appointment of tho negro llakor as
postmaster at Lake City, Uns last ap
pointment shows a determination by
tho present administration to punish tho
pcoplo of South Carolina by imposing
obnoxious poisons upon tho citizens
whenovor tho opportunity otters. What
ever deplorable results may follow snell
appointments must bo charged hugely
to tho appointing power. McKinloy can
not shirk a Sharo of tho responsibility.
Of courso it is to hoped that the law
abiding citizens of floronco will soo to
it that thoro is no repetition of tho
Lake City affair, for tho sake of their
own good name and that of tho State.
Lot pationt endurance bo exercised, re
membering that next year the regime in
Washington may bo removed, and along
with it all such obnoxious Federal offi
cials. ___________________
A Million Goos Up in Smoke.
TOLEDO, OHIO, .Inly 23.-Thc Cincin
nati, Hamilton and Dayton elevator,
located in East Toledo, was totally des
troyed by tho to-night and Ibo loss on
building and contontsds nearly a million
dollars, lt is not known bow much in
surance is on thc iHKI.IKH) bushels of wheat,
but on tho building thoro is ?185,000
in various companies.
Tho olovatorhas been unusually busy
for tho past two weeks and was working
night and day to store tho IBO cars of
wheat which aro received daily. The
faqt that this was Sunday prevented the
loss of lifo which would otherwise have
followed, for tho men quit work early,
and had been out of tho placo about two
hours.
A small blazo in tho cupola was seen
from tho outside by a passer by. A firo
alarm was turned in, but before the de
yudmont could reach the place a terrille
)sion occurred that rocked the foun
|i of surrounding buildings. Tho
biirVtng was almost immediately onvel
oped%n flames and Mithin ton minutes
another and moro tor ri (le explosion oc
curred, whio.ll tere out tho entire side of
tho building near tho river, and it was
this explosion that hurled tho watchman,
W. E. Welch, who was in tho building,
out of tho Hames and saved bis life. Ile
was only slightly injured.
Tho building was a mass of ruins in
half an hour after tho first blaze was
noticed.
An olovator owned by this company
was burned on the samo site four years
ago, and tho presen' building was built,
to bo the moat complote and most por
ted in tho country. It was provided
with ovory appliance to prevent loss by
Uro, and to-night's lire is a great sur
prise. Thc building had a capacity of
ono million bushels, and within a few
days would havo carried its eapaeity,
Tho actual loss to tho company will be
in tho noigoborhood of ?75, Ol in, while Ibo
grain, which is on consignment, will bo
almost a total loss to the shipper. The
quickness to tho Uro leads to (he opinion
that nomo of the grain will bo saved in a
damaged condition.
